TwistOfKate

Listen, the television industry is tough. There are so many hours of airtime to fill, and not every family with more than six children is guaranteed to be super-cute. So you can imagine TLC's challenge trying to come up with new material. This is probably why they went back to one of their stand-out personalities, Kate Gosselin of 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' fame, to kick off a new series called 'Twist of Kate,' in which Gosselin will interact with a variety of American families and "see what she can do to help."

Well, the concept is surprising but it is probably a smart move for TLC to bring back one of their big ratings heavy hitters. The channel's obviously part of the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality. Or rather "If it broke, then scrape together the remaining pieces and put a handful of them back on TV with a slightly better haircut."

According to PEOPLE, Gosselin, who can currently be seen on ABC's ratings juggernaut, 'Dancing With the Stars,' will star in the new reality series 'Twist of Kate.' In it, Gosselin will profile women who were inspired by her story and who are now facing challenges of their own.

Additionally, TLC will air 'Kate Plus 8' specials this summer, which will feature Gosselin as she raises her eight children on her own.
